This is most likely a wiring issue in the steering column. I advise you not to attempt to repair this on your own unless you are an experienced mechanic. If you do be very cautious as the airbag wiring runs through there and can be a very dangerous mistake.

Replace the clock spring, or check all the cabling and plugs first. If you are inexperienced take it to an auto electrician, otherwise do it yourself but disconnect the negative battery terminal for 2 minutes prior to opening the steering wheel to check the plugs, as not doing so could cause the airbag to go off. In addition you can also take out the airbag fuse. Check radio control plugs and close it up again and reconnect everything in reverse order. If that doesn't fix it, then have the clock spring replaced professionally, its too much mucking around if you don't know what you're doing.

it could be your clockspring; it carries multiple electrical signals to and from the steering wheel (audio controls, horn, airbag). the wheel has to be removed to gain access to it for replacement, but it can be tested without removal. the easiest way to test it is with a diagnostic tool

You have a defective part called a clock spring contact under the steering wheel, this contact is a coiled up simi rigid plastic ribbon with circuits embedded in it, after many years they l break and you loose the connection from the steering wheel controls (radio) and the Airbag. You must disarm the airbag on the steering wheel and remove it and replace the clock spring contact drum under the wheel, the cost is about $300.00

IF you horn isn't work. Does your radio and crus control buttons on the steering wheel work? My lincoln ls it started with the horn the the controll then the air bag on the steering wheel. There is a modual in the steering colum behind the wheel that controlls all of it. the part is about 145. or the dealership well charge 300 to fix it.
